This conference will explore the idea of the ‘everyday’ as a key component of children’s lives, past and present and cross culturally. To do this means moving away from a ‘problem’ focus on children and childhood by recognising that what counts as the mundane and every day for different children can be radically diverse in different times and places.

Examples of themes to be explored might include:

Historical aspects of children’s everyday lives

Children’s everyday experiences of living in poverty or experiencing war and conflict

Cross-cultural differences in the ‘everyday’

Everyday life and children’s agency

Theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding everyday life

Intergenerational relations in the nature and flow of children’s everyday life

Those wishing to organise small symposia around a specific theme are also invited to submit a proposal.

Abstracts:
Abstracts of no more than 200 words for papers, posters and symposia should be sent to the conference administrator, Dawn Lessels [email protected], by January 31st 2014. For full details on submitting abstracts check out our conference page:
